Abstract / Description
The fault scarp is 35 km (22 mi) long with scarp heights reaching as much as 5 meters (16 ft). This photo shows primarily vertical displacement of a concrete ditch (there is some lateral displacement as well). This is an example of a predominantly normal fault with some lateral displacement.
